RE: How to choose an IDS/FW MSS provider

["Randy Golly" <randy.golly () comcast net>]

Yes Sir that would be me.
Being new to the list did not want to get into any type of spam advertising
for the parent company, if I broke some type of list protocol, call me out
on it and I'll be clear in the future.  Trying to give a partial viewpoint
without an obvious slant.  I've been in security consulting for several
years and just recently joined VeriSign, going on 4 months now.  The MSS
service is a completely different business unit from the security consulting
group.  We cross paths with them about as much as we do with ISS services.
The info I know about VeriSign's MSS services is all based off of their web
site and marketing info, so the statement below is correctly based off what
I've been told and actually have more experience working with ISS.  When we
are doing consulting engagements we are not biased to VeriSign's services,
but to the clients requirements so do suggest quite a few other vendors for
their specific needs.

Good luck to ya Stephane.
Thanks for clearing that up Paul!

I've run across several clients that are using VeriSign's managed
services that are having success.  They have SOCs around the world I'm
told.  Just did a search for them and found their site at

Dear All,

How do I choose an IDS/IPS provider if I need a strong level of 
expertise 24x7x365 and a worldwide representaion? I need it on 
Netscreen, PIX, CheckPoint and ISS Realsecure and Proventia.

Thank you,

S.
